Other shelter options
Hot weather is expected for this weekend and those that are not able to source their own marquee will have other alternatives. The grandstand on Field 1 has 500+ seats with most of them covered. In addition, there are also shaded areas by trees near the grandstand; there are many change rooms in all 4 pavilions; there will be a small marquee in the EXPO area and also a sheltered seated area near fields 4 and 5.
Please remember to SLIP, SLOP, SLAP and keep hydrated.

The event will be fully catered. Full canteen services will be operational near all the fields serving delicious hot food and drinks (hot and cold), as well as yummy treats for those with a sweet tooth. Please support the local caterers.

THIS IS AN NON-ALCOHOL EVENT. Anyone found to be consuming alcohol will be asked to leave the venue.

BBQs will also not be allowed in the venue as this adds an element of risk to the event.

Yes, we will request all centre referee appointments to be made from the FFV. However, each team will need to provide an assistant referee for each of their games to assist the centre referee in running the lines. The centre referee has the right to approve or decline anyone to carry out these duties at his/her discretion

We are asking teams to provide their grading and we will be seeding teams accordingly. If we have enough teams to run multiple competitions within an age group we will, otherwise we’ll seed teams as we best see fit.

The Copa and Liga have been set up in order to place teams in their appropriate level and make the games more competitive across the board. Normally the Copa is for Kangaroo level teams and the Liga is for Wallabies level teams. We have tried our best to place teams in the correct competitions, but it is not always to get this 100% correct due to uneven number of teams in each of the levels.

Each squad can only have a maximum of 8 players on the bench per game in the 11v11 competitions and only players listed on the team sheet will be allowed to play. If there are changes to the team sheet, they need to be made 60 minutes prior to a game.

Each squad can only have a maximum of 5 players on the bench per game in the 4v4, 7v7 and 9v9 competitions and only players listed on the team sheet will be allowed to play. f there are changes to the team sheet, they need to be made 60 minutes prior to a game.

All teams will be put in groups of 3, 4, or more. The pool games will be played in a round robin scenario where different level teams will be distributed evenly as much as possible to provide a mix of NPL, Kangaroos, Wallabies, Joeys, A, B, C, D and E teams.

In the majority of age groups, after the pool games are played, the teams will be divided into Cup and Plate competitions. The Cup competition will cater for the teams that finish in the top positions in their respective pools.

The Plate competitions will cater for the teams that finish in the lower positions of their respective pools.

Some groups also have Shield competitions for the teams that finish near the bottom of the round robin groups.

This is a model that works well with other tournaments, whilst the pool games may not be as evenly matched, the Cup and Shield play-offs provides meaningful games for teams of more even level.

Winners and Runners Up of both Cup, Plate and Shield competitions will receive awards at the end of the competition.
